What's up, people? I thought I'd lay out my first "news page" for stuff that's going on with me, just in case anyone cared. Heck, this may be the first and only time I use it, but we'll see.

This last weekend I went to the ACM Programming Competition in Chico, CA to compete against about 40 other teams from Alaska, British Columbia, Northern California, Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon. Our team, Stanford 2, came out #2! This means that we're going to Eindhoven, The Netherlands come April 1999 to compete in the International Programming Competition. I'm psyched!

Work on Start² is progressing, and I'm working on adding extensive calendaring support. We're getting paid schnack for what we've done so far, but right now we're looking at venture capital as a possibility. Given the flexibility of our architecture, it's possible that this could be quite well-suited for intranet deployments...

Speaking of which, my friend Nathan is starting up a company based on next-generation "palmtop" technology. I can't say anything more than that, but he's talking to VCs right now, and I might be working for him over the summer.

Life has gotten very busy, and I've kind of backshelved a number of projects, like QuikFinger v1.0 and (recently) ftpcheck. I'll return to them later. In the meantime, I'm working on Faze, an audio system. Definitely making progress, just having some trouble due to the fact that my current box is kind of screwy and my Linux install didn't go over well on it. Hm. I need to at least get a working floppy drive...
